Wisdom is the capacity to see things from God's viewpoint.

There is nothing worse than a life filled with adversity from which nothing good ever comes.

The Bible tells us that God will meet all our needs. He feeds the birds of the air and clothes the grass with the splendor of lilies. How much more, then, will He care for us, who are made in His image? Our only concern is to obey the heavenly Father and leave the consequences to Him.

Focusing on difficulties intensifies and enlarges the problem. When we focus our attention on God, the problem is put into its proper perspective and it no longer overwhelms us.

We must never limit God's ability to turn even the worst, most vile experience in our lives into something productive, beneficial and positive.

Nobody else can make us discouraged; it is a choice that we alone make when facing disappointments.

Hope founded upon a human being, a man-made philosophy or any institution is always misplaced... because these things are unreliable and fleeting.
